Course modules

  1. 01

    How digital marketing actually works (the funnel that drives every decision)

    Digital marketing is not 'posting on social media.' It's a measurable system that turns strangers into paying customers. This module gives you the mental model every other module builds on.

  2. 02

    SEO — search intent, not keyword stuffing

    SEO is the highest-ROI channel for most businesses. Most beginners do it wrong by chasing keywords. This module shows you what actually works in the era of Google's helpful-content updates.

  3. 03

    Paid ads — Google Search, Meta, TikTok, and the budget rules

    Paid advertising can scale a business overnight or burn through your budget in a week. The difference is process. This module gives you the framework to spend money intentionally.

  4. 04

    Email marketing — the channel that quietly outperforms everything

    Email has been declared dead since 2005. It still has the highest ROI of any digital channel. This module is why and how.

    ~12min
  5. 05

    Content marketing — the compound-interest channel

    Content takes 6-12 months to start working. Once it does, it never stops. This module is how to do it without being one of the 90% of content marketing efforts that fail.

    ~12min
  6. 06

    Analytics — measuring what matters (and ignoring what doesn't)

    Conversion rate optimization — turning traffic into customers

    Doubling conversion is cheaper than doubling traffic. This module is the systematic playbook for finding and fixing leaky funnels.

    ~12min
  8. 08

    Putting it together — a full marketing strategy from scratch

    Modules 1-7 covered the parts. This module assembles them into one cohesive plan for a real business — the way a senior marketer would approach a brief.
